The list of parenting related abbreviations

I know that it took me forever when I joined to figure out
what all abbreviations stood for(still don't know some). I
realize there are past threads in other forums but thought it
would be nice to have a list here so that new poeple don't
have to search forever to figure out what the abbreviations
stand for. Thanks

Good idea! Here are some of them (many of them are diaper
related, but there are other general ones as well). And no, I
didn't come up with these off the top of my head! I pulled
them off of a couple of my favorite places. Anyway, hope this
helps you get a start.

refers to one of the SWAP groups that trades cloth diapers

Diaperswap and BBBSwap.

The movement of liquid through fabric. With covers and
AIOs, wicking refers to the movement of liquid from the
inside of the diaper to the outside, resulting in wet
clothing. With pocket diapers or fleece lined soakers,
wicking refers to the movement of liquid through the micro
fleece or suede cloth to the absobent layer of the diaper,
resulting in a stay dry feeling next to baby's skin.
